Just to add a little to marsmimar great instruction. The time will vary according to your system specs. Which are not filled in. Before you get done with this thread could you fill in your ((My System Specs)) using User CP at the top of the page. This little program will help you.

If you are using a USB 2.0 external HDD it will take longer to save a backup image.

On my PC, for example:

• Macrium Reflect normally images at ~50 MB/s
• My USB 2.0 external HDDs only accept data at ~25 MB/s

I have multiple internal HDDs and I save my backup images to one of those.
I copy the images to the external HDD later (e.g. when I'm not going to use the PC for a while).

roger that. thank you very much.

yes I used an external HDD connected with a USB 2.0 cable.

thank you very much again marsmimar.

it is a good thing that I have made a repair disk and created a system image on my external HDD.

now I should do the same for my desktop computer.

hey guys and gals,

I want to create a system image for my desktop computer.

does anyone please know if I can do it for just the C drive?

The Windows 7 imaging tool should allow you to select which drives (partitions) you want to image. You should see a dialog box similar to this screenshot (taken from a Seven Forums tutorial):



Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup

In an ideal world that is what is supposed to happen. But if by chance you're not given the opportunity to choose, you may have to use a 3rd party imaging software. I can highly recommend Macrium Free. The steps and user interaface are a little different from Windows 7 but it's a more versatile program. And one of the Forum experts made a tutorial.

wow marsmimar.

thank you so much again.
